Can't get jvectormap's setFocus method to work with region name

Question

I am trying to focus on a specific region on the map using region name instead of latitudes and longitudes.

for example, this doesn't work for me:

map.setFocus({region: 'IN'})

Answer 1

After a lot of researching, I got this to work by doing this:

    var mapObj = $('#world-map').vectorMap('get', 'mapObject');

    mapObj.setFocus({region: 'IN'})
